Back when the greed heads were rapin the environment in the northern Keys everyone got real ecology conscious started doin impact studies and what not, and low and behold this criters they thought where gators actually turned out to be crocodiles. And now having been discovered, they immediately became an endangered species instead of not existing at all. Hence the sign. Unlike burrowing owls, I have never actually seen one of these so it may just be a scam to get folks to stop and have 2 or 3 rumrunners before makin that long drive back up to Miami. After 2 or 3 rumrunners, you can see just about anything you want to. >{decvax,linus,allegra}!genrad!enmasse!guy > enmasse!guy@harvard.arpa > >"Reality is a sandwich I did NOT order." - Zippy Bob Weiler. PS. The things in the glades are still gators. PPS. Insist on Tiki John's formula rumrunners - accept no substitutes.
